Four suspected drug traffickers were arrested by anti-drug police in Takeo province’s Samrong district yesterday for their alleged involvement in smuggling about half a kilo of crystal meth on Wednesday. Lieutenant General San Sunthy, Deputy Chief of the Anti-Drug Police, said the four suspects, 44-year-old Um Noeun, 35-year-old Um Thon, 17-year-old Chin Sroh, and 48-year-old Um Oun, were arrested by police on Wednesday after months of surveillance.

“They were arrested when the mixed police forces surrounded them in Samrong district, Takeo Province,” he said. Anti-Drug police officer Captain Phuon Sith said the four were ringleaders in drug smuggling operations bringing drugs for distribution to Phnom Penh as well as Takeo and Kampong Speu provinces.
